Stanley and Joyce Boim, parents of David Boim, who was killed by Hamas terrorists in 1996, are currently engaged in a legal battle against a Muslim advocacy group protesting at the Democratic National Convention. The Boims initially filed a lawsuit in 2000 against three Islamic charities in the U.S., accusing them of supporting Hamas. They won the case in 2004 but were unable to collect the awarded $156 million as the groups disbanded post-judgment.
In 2017, the Boims filed another suit, alleging that the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) reemerged as The American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) with similar leadership and objectives. The Boims claim that AMP continues to promote Hamas' ideology and raise funds for the organization.
